Re: Playing with LaTeX

["Martin J. Osborne" osborne@xxxxxxxx]

I think that was me ... You're right that LaTeX-specific editors have
some useful features. But none has the speed and flexibility of
XyWrite, which I still use to edit LaTeX files. I don't work with the
raw LaTeX code. I've adapted XyWrite's modes to display LaTeX code in a
much more readable way, and use a simple script (summoned by a single
keystroke) to convert such files to raw LaTeX. My system is tailored to
my own needs, which means that it is oriented to mathematical text, but
if anyone is interested in the details, I'll be happy to elaborate.

I use a very similar system to convert XyWrite files in essentially the
same format to HTML. For example, the source files for all the pages in
my math tutorial

http://mjo.osborne.economics.utoronto.ca/index.php/tutorial/index/1/int/i
are XyWrite files.
